Hang on Waiting for beacon #21

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. reaver -i wlan0 -b XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Reaver hangs on "Waiting for beacon from XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX". It is not a range 
problem, I am able to wirelessly connect to the router using the PSK. It always 
hangs on this message on all 3 routers I have tried.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ver: reaver rev 22
os: fedora 16
wifi: Ralink corp. RT2860 (Device 2790)
driver: rt2800pci

Please provide any additional information below.
Specifying essid and using -c and -f does not cure the problem, -vv provides no 
more information. Hangs for 5 minutes, still waiting.

I assume that wlan0 is the monitor mode interface (not mon0?) and that you are 
running as root, correct?

Run with -vv and see what errors/warnings (if any) you get. Could very well be 
a driver issue, I have not tested rt2800pci.

Ooops... my fault! This is not your issue.

I had not set the card to monitor mode. Created monitor mode interface (mon0) 
using airmon-ng script and now see the card switching channels and detecting 
the ESSID. 

Unfortunately it is failing to associate.

[+] Waiting for beacon from <mac>
[+] Switching mon0 to channel 7 // This is the correct channel
[!] Warning: Failed to associate with <mac> (ESSID: <essid>) // This is the 
correct ESSID
[!] Warning: Failed to associate with <mac> (ESSID: <essid>)
[!] Warning: Failed to associate with <mac> (ESSID: <essid>)
...

Apologies for filing a non-issue!

No worries, non-issues are my favorite kind of issues. :P 

I'll add the rt2800pci driver to our list of supported drivers in the wiki.
